Reprehensible & Rancid Reid

These are always among the toughest days.

Eight of America's finest were killed, and several were injured, in a training accident at Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada.   Reports indicate a cache of weapons exploded in error, fatally wounding the Marines in training.

America mourns the passing of these heroes, and prayers for their families and friends are extended.  In addition, prayers for a full and speedy recovery for those injured are placed.

"We send our prayers and condolences to the families of Marines involved in this tragic incident. We remain focused on ensuring that they are supported through this difficult time," said the force's commander, Maj. Gen. Raymond C. Fox. "We mourn their loss, and it is with heavy hearts we remember their courage and sacrifice."

Many folks in the public eye with a dog in the hunt expressed their sorrow at the turn of events, including former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who posted on Facebook the following:

 

Sadly, not even in the wake of the loss of our finest Americans can the left take a break from political posturing as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, (D:NV) hit the Senate floor to blame the sequester for the tragic events, which took place in  his home state.  Take a listen to Reid, and keep in mind, the details of the accident remain unknown at this time. Listen HERE.

Like many of us, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R:MN, was appalled.

 

Senator Reid, who has many friends on the hill, including many Republicans, is an individual who I find despicable.  Reid routinely uses the floor to spew lies and mistruths, and has no issue with using any event to foster political gain.  We recently recall Reid accusing Mitt Romney of being not fulfilling his tax burden without any credible evidence to substantiate the claim.

 

During the normal course of action, this type of action should offensive to any American, but to run the mouth as families are in process of being notified of the loss of their loved ones is beyond reprehensible.  Is this the type of discourse we expect from those we place in leadership?

 

Former Rep. Allen West, (R:FL), is just as disgusted with Reid as the rest of us are, finding the actions of Reid offensive.  Joining Greta Van Susteren "On The Record", West more than appropriately lets Reid have it.

 

I completely agree with Rep. West in his assessment regarding Senator Reid.  Reid did not make a "clumsy" statement as Van Susteren wondered; he is a cold and calculating individual who believes the ends justify the means, no matter who is negatively affected by his comments and actions.

Sadly, for Reid, this includes American citizens and dead servicemen, who are our finest treasure.  It is most offensive, and he should resign immediately.

Reid does not represent most of America, who are mourning this tragic loss. May God Bless the Marines lost in this tragic accident, their families, our outstanding military members, and the United States of America.
